    Oh but that's right, aren't sharp knives about to be banned?

    Next up: big sticks and harsh language.
    Not sure their is much connection between the handgun ban and knives. There never were many instances of fights involving handguns in the UK. In truth I didn't know anybody who had a hand gun before the ban came into force.

    I don't think they are banning sharp knives unless they have invented self cutting food - merely the sale of bayonet type knives and controlling the sale of all knives to kids. Much of the stabbing activity appears to be teenagers.
    I remember someone talking about suggestion that the stabby parts be done away with but keep the slicey parts.

    so I don't understand- what makes an 8" bayonet more deadly than an 8" kitchen knife? also, doesn't this impending law illegalize fantesy knifes as well that are compleatly useless?
    Plan for the worst, hope for the best

    They are totally blunt when they are bought, but are they made of a material which can be sharpened.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
